Right, hopefully there's not too much limit on what you can write with this topic and you can do with it as you want.

The usual rules apply.

The topic: A/The System

I won't set a deadline for now, but will wait for a good amount of entries.

Thanks a lot.

Results:

A very tough one this: all the stories took a different meaning to the word system and I enjoyed each one as they were so unique. But yes, as pretty much every past judge has said, there can only be one winner.

And that person for me is Black Glove. The flow of the story grabbed my attention throughout and left me wanting more, but at the same time allowed me to appreciate the end of the story just how it is.

Well done everyone, sorry the competition was so prolonged!

Well done Black Glove.

Hury up and think of something, I fancy entering a SSC for a change. Was going to do the last one, but read about it as the deadline was announced for the following morning!

But well done and enjoy your GAD!

I won! Thanks ST.
And I won GAD too. Maybe I should post here more often :)

I'll set the next SSC as soon as I think of something ...

Well done, Black Glove.

I think it was a good topic, as it could be taken in so many ways, so there was a lot of variety with the stories.

I had to rush through mine a bit, because of the deadline, but it's there at last.

EDIT- I have just editted my story a bit, as there were bits that didn't make any sense at all.
